Poison Dart Frog Information:

Poison dart frogs are a group of frogs native to Central and South America and the Caribbean. They are named for the poison they secrete which is toxic to humans and other animals. These frogs have bright colors and patterns that warn predators of their toxicity.

Poison dart frogs are small, ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 inches long. They have smooth skin and come in a variety of colors including yellow, green, blue, and red. The toxicity of the frogs varies depending on their species, location, and diet. The poison secreted by the frogs is a mixture of alkaloids and steroids and is used to defend themselves from predators. The poison dart frog diet consists of small insects, such as ants, termites, and spiders. They also eat smaller frogs, lizards, and tadpoles. They are able to extract the toxins from their prey and store them in their skin, which is why they are so toxic. The frogs are found in tropical rainforests, where they live in damp leaf litter on the forest floor. They are often found in or near streams and rivers.

Product Information from Schleich:

The Blue Poison Dart Frog is actually at home in the tropical rainforest in northern South America and lives in the flowers of bromeliads. With its gorgeous coloring it also looks very fetching on your hand!

The bright Blue Poison Dart Frog with black spots on its back is beautiful. Although it's so small, it immediately stands out with this fancy coloring. Contrary to its name, its skin is only poisonous when it eats the ants in its native rainforest in South America. If you feed it other food, you can safely take the pretty little frog in your hand. Give it a try!.
